This may be better suited for towertalk. There are many good antennas and
rotators to choose from.  Regarding the controller, I have six Green Heron
control boxes currently in use and I could not be happier. They are easy
to set up and use, very accurate and the service from W2FU is second to
none.

Please ask your DX guys their thoughts / experience with the Mosley
PRO-96-S antenna.



It is impressive with 4-elements on 40m, 3-elements on 30m, 5-elements each
on 12m, 15m, 17m and 20m and 8-elements on 10m.  My experience (15-years or
more ago) with Mosley was positive however my Yagi at that time was not
this model.



The antenna has a 4-inch boom and weighs 276-pounds with 27.9 sq. ft. of
wind surface area so it not a small antenna!  It comes with a 2-year
warranty.  Maximum element length is 44-feet with a 48-foot boom and a
turning radius of about 33-feet.



Any comments on the Green Heron vs M2 controller would be appreciated.



My tower has been ordered and will be ordering  an OR2800PXAZ rotator and
either a Green Heron or M2 controller. . . based upon comments of users.
